Diversity Matters

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is among the most diverse public research universities in the U.S. The Graduate College, through the Office of Recruitment and Diversity, furthers UIC’s commitment to increasing social and cultural diversity that deepens the academic pursuits of our graduate students and faculty. Our programs and initiatives emphasize the recruitment, retention, and success of underrepresented-minority graduate students, especially at the PhD level.
